  • World’s Cup not plural or possessive

    Two weeks now Danny really bad.

    Syracuse, who self-confessed a ton of research heading into the World Cup.

    But then repeatedly can’t annunciate the tournaments correct name. World Cup it is not plural. Disappointing.

    Otherwise, I like Danny with Colin, but he has to be better.

    No one could just text him during the hour long podcast. He did it all day.

  • What sports media is missing!!

    This is an exceptional podcast. The host stands out for his honesty and humility—he isn’t afraid to admit when he’s wrong, own his flaws, and still connect in a genuine way with both his family and everyday listeners.

    I look forward to every episode, and I never miss anything he releases. The range of guests is outstanding, bringing fresh stories and diverse perspectives on sports over the years.

  • Elite no more…

    The elitist Colin “Cowturd” has bought and is selling the media coolaid on ND! Listened for a very long, very disappointed in your ND take, doesn’t fit anything you’ve ever said about having the best teams in. Don’t give me schedule - A&M beat us by 1 point and Ark by only 3 points - a team we crushed at their place 56-13!!! ND could’ve won this year if they had been let in. 5 SEC teams is a joke and you know it, but you’ve been an SEC homer for years (though you’re trying to jump off that bandw... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Prime Cuts- Giants Resurgence, Can Chiefs Bounce Back? Are The Browns… Good? Lincoln Riley’s Time Is Running Out
Q: Did you learn anything watching and not playing, and can Fernando Mendoza learn anything while Kirk Cousins starts?
Manning says a young quarterback can learn from a veteran's preparation and work with receivers, but needs live game experience to understand the speed of the NFL. He says late-season starts could help Mendoza prepare for the following year.

Q: Do we have a Darnold on our hands as the Giants on the road beat a Houston team that was favored by nine?
Middlekauff says McCarthy played his best game, showing layered throws and a strong connection with Malik Nabers. He credits the Giants' skill players, coaching, and run game for supporting the quarterback.

Prime Cuts - Bears A SB Contender? Broncos Always Find A Way, Miami #1 In CFB Rankings
Q: What I wonder about in a game where you have one team that wants it and one team that needs it, and the team that needs it's at home and got everything to play for here?
Josh Pate said Miami has experienced receivers beyond Malachi Toney and noted that Notre Dame quarterback CJ Carr still needs to prove himself in high-pressure games; he leaned toward Notre Dame.
